About this expansion

Memoir ’44: Winter Wars is a two-player expansion for 90-minute battles in snow-covered World War II environments, featuring ten scenarios set during the crucial two weeks of Christmas 1944 in the Ardennes.

This expansion brings new rules and forces to the Memoir ’44 battlefield. Winter Combat cards add a fresh tactical element, while new troops include the all-new Tank Destroyer and Heavy Anti-Tank Gun units, alongside Late War versions of the Anti-Tank Gun, Mortar, and Machine Gun.

  • 88 double-sided Winter tiles
  • 28 Special Unit badges, 20 round markers, and 16 obstacles
  • 20 Winter Combat cards
  • 80 Command cards designed specifically for Breakthrough battles
  • New Winter Combat rules and additional troop types

The first six scenarios are standard battles playable with one copy of the base game and this expansion. A Memoir ’44: Winter/Desert Board Map can add a cosmetic touch to these snow-covered battlefields.

The final four scenarios are gigantic Breakthrough versions of the Battle of the Bulge. These require the Memoir ’44: Eastern Front expansion and the Memoir ’44: Breakthrough maps in addition to Winter Wars.

With its winter-focused components, specialized units, new Command cards, and dedicated combat rules, Memoir ’44: Winter Wars provides the equipment needed to fight—and win—across ten demanding Ardennes scenarios.
